Girls' Romances #101

A standout entry in DC's long-running romance line, this June 1964 issue draws you in immediately with Jay Scott Pike's cover — a close, charged moment between a blonde young woman with roses in her hair and a dark-haired man leaning in for a kiss, her thought bubble reading "He's forcing himself to kiss me! — Why? — Why? — Why—?" That mix of longing and uncertainty is pure mid-'60s romance comics at their most emotionally vivid. Inside, John Rosenberger brings the drama with the featured story "Come Back, My Heart!" alongside "Tears for Sale!" — twelve cents of heartache well spent.
